Samsung Dryer Repair – Akron, OH (DVE45M5500W/A3)

We recently completed a dryer repair in Akron, OH for a Samsung DVE45M5500W/A3 that wouldn’t stop spinning. The dryer continued running even when powered off, and the customer had already tried unplugging it and turning off the breaker with no success.

The Problem

The dryer will not stop spinning even when the power is off. The customer tried unplugging it and turning the breaker off and letting it sit 10 minutes and plugging it back in and it still spins.

Diagnosis

The motor relay had failed on the main control board. When a motor relay sticks in the closed position, it continues to send power to the drum motor regardless of the control settings or power switch position.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: DC92-01896D — Assembly Holder PCB (main control board)
• Work performed: Replaced the failed main control board
• Result: Replacing the board resolved the issue

Is It Worth Repairing?

Samsung dryers generally offer good value for repair, especially mid-range models like this DVE45M5500W/A3. A control board replacement is a common repair that typically extends the appliance life significantly. Samsung parts availability is excellent and the brand has a solid reputation for reliability after repairs.

Maintenance Tips for Samsung Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent overheating that can damage control boards
• Check the exhaust vent annually — restricted airflow causes Samsung dryers to work harder and fail prematurely
• Avoid overloading the drum, which puts extra strain on the motor and control systems
